Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MeatloafFPS 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐟 ™ (@MeatloafFPS) reported

    @EndersFPS I’m not hating, you truthfully couldn’t tell me that people would choose Gundam over Overwatch, even if they came out a year apart. It’s mostly a skill issue when it comes to the topic. Gundam is fun it’s just not what people want like they did OW, I still play it though.

  • PinkKnightVR PinkKnightVR (@PinkKnightVR) reported

    Someone help me my Audio cuts out while playing Overwatch 2. I have no issues watching or playing anything else!

  • Anime_Police Hiroshi Katuza: SH2 Brainrot (@Anime_Police) reported

    Overwatch community has an issue with trying to deflect their own skill issues onto the support players. Can't kill pharah as soldier, i wasn't getting enough healing. Can't counterpick and do more, i clearly wasn't getting healed. The tank pushed a 1v5, yep no it was heals.

  • AlarNiko AlarNiko (@AlarNiko) reported

    @TrueGameData My only problem with overwatch, its playing on controller, it feels so weird that i prefer play on kb&m even if I'm worse at it

  • varygoode Rob Vary (@varygoode) reported

    I've never liked FPS games, but I'm really enjoying Overwatch 2. My issue is that nearly everyone I know can grind and gets wayyy better than me way faster than I can catch up, so I'm worried that I will run out of people I'm comfortable playing with. 🥲

  • ImGetlowe GetLowe (33.3%) (@ImGetlowe) reported

    the amount of leavers or just one sided games on overwatch is a ******* problem.

  • OtakuDante 💵💬🐂💩🚶‍♂️ (@OtakuDante) reported

    The problem with Overwatch 2 is that the balancing is so heavily tilted towards team support dependency that in most cases there's loss instead of victory due to characters not being able to be self-sufficient.

  • _Dogscraps detective pussysnatcher (@_Dogscraps) reported

    I know everyone wants loot boxes back on overwatch 2 but a big reason why overwatch failed was because of their dogshit monetization system for a live service game. I know it's nice when you get everything free if you just play the game but that's just not a viable option.

  • bobanoba10 shfneknsnxn (@bobanoba10) reported

    The lag/freeze and lost frames has been making my overwatch 2 experience unenjoyable Like I did basically Everything I can do to make it smooth, even with my already high enough disc, it still somehow can set my disc from 1-10% to 100%

  • PurplePanda28O PurplePanda280 (@PurplePanda28O) reported

    @RichardPajarill @PeachFPS @VikingSteve_ Yeah but that’s a very amateur way of thinking about the league, you build up a wave then crash it into the enemies turret. Then help your mid. It’s the same in overwatch just with one lane, if a support can’t handle healing the whole team they shouldn’t be playing support

  • grey_jarvis Grey Jarvis (@grey_jarvis) reported

    overwatch career profile still broken waaaaaa

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN apparently even playing Spotify whilst in an overwatch game now crashes the game and doesn’t let you back in. 4th time it’s happened now wtf is wrong with ur game fix it already

  • anakbulia_ Kongoss (@anakbulia_) reported

    overwatch 2 fun but whats with lag/stutter when just start the game bruh #Overwatch2

  • damnitburned 🎃👻DamnitburnedTTV👻🎃 (@damnitburned) reported

    @freebroy @whatsaxan @OWAnonymous_ lmao 💀. I'm not even crying about it, I'm just putting it out there because toxicity in overwatch has been a problem since year 1 in OW1. i find the guys behavior childish. like i said I'm getting old so i worry about the wrong people being on the receiving end of this 🤡

  • imKlusterFox 🦊Mike🦊 (@imKlusterFox) reported

    @SamitoFPS It's an ongoing problem with Overwatch that they can't seem to fix. It's everybody else's fault every time. I can't seem to get past it.

  • cacabo1a ☾ n (@cacabo1a) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent FIX THE UGLY *** OVERWATCH 2 UI

  • rfloufi E.A Respunch not partner (@rfloufi) reported

    @kings2020xz @alphaINTEL It's ok for me if it's like overwatch 2 because apex 1.0 is broken technically and limited and adding new options or features takes ages and when they are released they are half done. It's the only solution

  • BleuPynk Dak Prescott's fingy hurt (@BleuPynk) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch 2 has crashed multiple times on me and now I have been banned from comp. Im on Xbox series x and it's the only game that does this. Please fix so I can play your game or give me a refund on the battle pass and I find a game that works

  • Zombie719 Philip K (@Zombie719) reported

    It's weird that there's no post game on Overwatch 2, I miss being able to chat real quick before moving on to my next match. Even if it's trash talk, at least it was engagement. Fix your **** Blizzard

  • chef_arlington SC-Chef (@chef_arlington) reported

    Is no one gonna talk about the amount of people disconnecting in overwatch comp games, not leaving just game crashing and server issues 70% of my losses are because of a DC

  • Pangiee1034 Stanley Pang (@Pangiee1034) reported

    @PlayOverwatch i play with my fren yesterday random dc get 15mins ban cant play competitive.. jus now disconnect agian get 8 hours ban.. nice work overwatch!!!

  • ToxicTrashTTV Toxic🎃Trick👻Toxic🦇Treat (@ToxicTrashTTV) reported

    Still don’t have my mic working yet. Tryna ****** fix this **** cause I wanna stream the new act and more overwatch.

  • tasteof_rage Rage (@tasteof_rage) reported

    @ImRhinne Idk maybe cuz despite the bad things, people still find enjoyment in playing as you would any video game. Overwatch, apex, valorant, league, all have their own issues inside their games yet people still play them to have fun. Not everyone is a streamer and gets paid for it.

  • f_ckwithawitch Esther (@f_ckwithawitch) reported

    Hey overwatch players i just wanna say, IF YOU'RE GONNA PLAY SUPPORT THEN DO YOUR JOB AND HEAL YOUR TEAM AN STOP TRYING TO GET KILLS YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM

  • lancestein936 Lance Stein (@lancestein936) reported

    Overwatch 2 has a lot of issues that need addressed. But my biggest gripe with it is I really miss 2 cp maps. Those were some of the best in the game and now they have been replaced with robot push and that mode sucks. Bring back 2 cp! @PlayOverwatch

  • WillSkaehill W_Skae (@WillSkaehill) reported

    @TheChrimbo666 @Outlaws Bruh, while I agree with you it’s cringe to put that comment on this post. Every overwatch player has a main, either a hero they’re best with or a hero they want to play more than the others. If you can’t understand that maybe you have the problem.

  • DarrenDoesAll DarrenDoesAll (@DarrenDoesAll) reported

    My main issue with Overwatch’s game design is the insistence of swapping hero’s to counter other players. Like bro I don’t want to swap I want to play the person that I want to play

  • dimehaven (+18) world's ending, be horny on main (@dimehaven) reported

    @AmberLynneGirl Lol I was referring to the hero in Overwatch 2. He's still removed from Overwatch 2 momentarily because of a bug fix.

  • Grayvzs Grayvzs (@Grayvzs) reported

    @TheOverwolf @PCGamesN Still can't capture overwatch 2 since the game came out. Any chance you'll fix that?
